Good luck, I have tried most of the IRC apps and like xChat because: 1. Runs on windows and Linux 2. Fully scriptable and configurable 3. Buttons highlight when new message have been received in that channel so I can monitor a number of channels easily. 4. Auto-login works...

Agree. Islam may check feminization of the civilized world sooner rather than later...

Probably privately schooled!! :)

So he cut a deal to avoid 6 years in prison and got probation. What kind of probation would have overlooked his spending and business activities??? How many people got hurt because of a judge that said, 'this is a non-violent crime so you get off with probation'? Amazing...

What are the advantages of creating a hedge fund versus a CTA? In both cases the trading approach can be the same, correct? Which approach has more overhead? Thank you,

Wagner was forced out because he was talking bk as a way to break the grip of the unions.

Too sweet. Buy the bank's toxic trash; but if you make toooo much money Congress will reserve the right to pass a new tax to get any profits you make back.

This is a bad soap opera script: "Go find a job. Do anything. Get out of the house or I'm leaving!!! I don't care if you deliver pizzas, GET A JOB!" "What you want me to work delivering pizzas!!!!! How about I go on national TV and tell everyone what a loser I am. Will that make you...

1st, kudos to the wife. My wife would somehow not understand.... :( Next... without changing his past decisions what would you suggest he do tomorrow? The resume is not good. Nobody is hiring that position anymore. Probably no W2 corp job as well as more people with recent experience...

This is just political misdirection pointing to $168m which is nothing on a day when the Fed created $1 TRILLION out of nowhere. Are you indignant and pissed about the Treasury purchase today. Or are you not worried about it because you got a 90 point bounce in the Dao?

These employees signed a contract to continue working for a period after their job was gone. Seems the government and the employees in question entered into the contract in good faith. From wikipedia I will bet that the Constitution and the rule of law holds and the employees get their money.

'outcome bias', from wikipedia: They so wanted a risk free return of 12% as an outcome they would ignore facts that did not support this outcome. There is also an 'diagnosis bias' at work here too probably. Once a decision to invest with Madoff was made they would ignore any facts that did...

Anybody know how the 16,000 sqft Bolze house sold at the auction last week? Not the market for Hurst Castle type of houses.... Shake it off Josey, enjoy the week with your family. Don't give Sport another thought it's not worth it. Bolze's family is destroyed by his actions, past...

I purchased the MESA software and programmed my own with DSP source code from http://www.nr.com/. My interest was to filter time series data for input into NN and GA engines. Knock yourself out. Bottom line (IMHO) there is nothing in phase, amp or frequency that will tell you anything...

Yes, the faithful. How many would have voted for Obama if they had known: 1. Robert Gates would remain SecDef. 2. Former USMC general would be NSC. 3. 'Domestic Wiretap' policy would remain unchanged. 4. Torture - paper said 'we stop all torture' (but reserve the right to...
